Bulkhead on Vietnam Airlines??

I've read heaps about the bulkhead seating on TT but just wanted to know if anyone had any experiences with bulkhead seating on Vietnam Airlines.

We have booked a Night flight direct from Sydney to Vietnam 4th May and I'm travelling with a will be 22 month old who is 12 kilo and 88 cm tall. Is the bulkhead worth it? I'm glad of the extra space but not sure it will be allocated as we are travelling with 2 other couples who have a 15 month old and 22 month old. Not to mention any other infants booked on the flight!!

Should I just pray we as a family get a seat between us and have our daughter sleep on our laps???

Any suggestions greatfully received.

Thanks in Advance

These seats may be allocated to frequent flyers as they are considered very good,if you reserve a window and a aisle seat in a row sometimes the middle seat is left open,it all depends on how full the flight is,worse case is they sell the middle seat ,and then you offer the person the aisle or window in trade so you sit together

Bulkhead doesn't always mean you get extra space. Sometimes it means you have a wall in front of you. Either way, you're generally not allowed to store anything at your feet (although VN Air doesn't always follow the rules). If you're flying from Sydney, you'll most likely be on a 777-200ER on VN Air. I don't remember what their seat configuration is in economy (somebody on here will), but it will either be 2-4-2 or 3-3-3 most likely. You should check with VN Air to be certain.

Thanks for the replies.

Bisbee, I tried to email Vietnam Airlines today and all their listed emails bounced, thats why I thought I'd ask here.

try seatguru.com they will tell you where the best seats and bad seats are

I meant you should call them.

VN Airlines isn't listed on Seat Guru, so it won't help. Differentl airlines use different seating configs, so you'll need to talk to VN directly unless somebody that's flown economy helps you here.

I've noticed often on Vietnamairlines that babies are in the bulkhead seats. Apparently you can't book ahead, as I do on other airlines, but if you get to the airport early you have a better chance. When I travelled with them a few weeksago there were lots of spare seats.

Just talked to someone who flew VN Air 777 economy class yesterday. They said the seating was 2-4-2.
